Holiday Mini Sessions 2022

October 19, 2022

Holiday Mini Session

This year I’ve added a new option to the old classics. In keeping with tradition, I have booked time at a local tree farm in Stouffville and the gorgeous wood and stone barn at Country Cut Flowers. For those of you who have done both, there is a new indoor option at Studio Three in Newmarket.

Sessions start Oct 29th 2022.

Flower Farm Mini Sessions 2022 – Now Booking!

August 4, 2022

Mini Session – York Region Flower Farm

This year’s Flower Farm Mini’s are half sold out! Don’t wait to book your spot as they are limited.  Due to popular demand for golden hour I have limited each night to just three spots. If you are hoping for a little earlier please contact me HERE for more info. The barn has the cutest corner with vines, flowers and obviously old stone and wood. It’s super pretty and you don’t need to worry as much about the sun.

Country Cut Flowers is an adorable family run flower farm in York Region. It has more types of flowers than I can count (and certainly more than I can name). With rolling hills, sun setting in the background, and fields of mixed flowers, it’s like you’re in your own hallmark movie. Kind of unreal and totally stunning. Selfishly, this is my favourite place to photograph families!

Fun little fact – You can book tickets to cut your own flowers! Check out how HERE

Cake Smash :: Chloe

July 18, 2021

Cake smash sessions bring out all sorts of emotions in us moms. They are freaking cute, a sign your little one is a year old, messy and even a tad stressful.  They are always fun and even more so when your little one dives right in. You would be shocked how many kids don’t jump at the chance to fill their faces with cake. Maybe the texture, maybe the audience….maybe the sugar.  BUT when a little one sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime there is nothing like it!

First birthdays are always fun. Whether you choose to do a family session or cake smash session, they are always special. The first year goes by so fast and is the perfect time to capture this time in your little ones life. I think that’s the one thing we never get until we are in the moment. How fast they grow and change. You see them every day and it doesn’t hit you until there is a milestone like this.  Whether you choose to do a cake smash or something more traditional, don’t miss this epic time in your little ones life!

Thanks to The Flower Merchant for the florals and Sweet B’s for the cake!

Now booking outdoor and indoor cake smash sessions!

Newborn :: Viann

February 12, 2021

Richmond Hill Newborn boy

Newborn boys know how to steal the ladies hearts. This little guy was no different. When I met his parents at their maternity session, I knew they would have a perfect little sweet heart.  The whole family is soft spoken and calm. Something I don’t have enough of in my life lol. Anyone with small kids can agree! You can see their maternity session HERE.

He totally rocked his session and we were able to get sleepy and awake images. Not always the easiest thing to do.  His little eyes are the cutest and really glad we were able to capture them! I think it’s one thing I regret not getting when I did my own.  That and the tiny feet!

I’m not having baby fever (or at least I keep telling myself that), but I am really looking forward to having some more newborns in the studio.  At least I can get my baby cuddles out of the way! Know anyone excepting? Send them my way!

Now booking for 2021 – Contact me HERE.

Maternity Session :: Peony Farm

June 29, 2020

York Region Maternity Photographer

I’m obsessed with nature. Maybe not so much the bug aspect, but the greens and florals. I love when the sun sneaks through the trees and gives that golden glow. The way the darks are brightened in just the right way to highlight features. I literally can’t handle a beautiful sundown without my camera in my hand. I also can’t handle not knowing what my maternity clients are having! Boy or Girl? I’m such a Pinterest mom I had to know lol.

With all the covid stuff happening and being trapped indoors for so long I had a lot of time to look for creative inspiration. No chance to put it to use…until now. I bought this peacock chair for Mother’s Day Mini’s and didn’t get to use it. As upset as I am about missing out on that, I embraced the extra time to make the idea that much better. Turns out it all worked out and I have an amazing set for families.

A huge thank you to Janet at Country Cut Flowers for letting me use her gorgeous property. The peony field was the perfect spot for this mama and for my new baby (aka the Peacock). This chair will be available for mini’s this summer and fall and as an add on to your regular session. So excited!

Michelle and Mike :: 10 Years

July 3, 2016

Family photography isn’t what it used to be.  You don’t need an occasion to have a session.  There doesn’t have to be a landmark in your lives. You can capture memories because you want to.  Crazy notion these days…because you want to.

Michelle and Mike happen to be celebrating 10 years together but simply wanted some updated photos of their family.  I love when people just want to celebrate being in love.  No agenda or need to capture anything other than who they are at that moment. I wish more people did this.  You don’t need children or fancy events in order to have professional photography.  You can do it just because you want to.  We captured some insanely stunning images and to be honest, I’m jealous.  I want some of these of my family.  Wish selfies with my camera were easier lol.  I have a remote but trying to get a small child and dog to look at it from afar is next to impossible. Probably impossible but I’m trying to stay positive.

When I initially received their email and they said they saw my bucket list and wanted to include Roxy, their fur baby, I couldn’t have been happier.  I love pets even though they don’t always cooperate.  They just add something extra to the session that makes the final images that much more sweet.  Roxy nailed it though.  She’s definitely a keeper!

Szames Family :: Sunset Session

May 21, 2015

This summers newest edition is the Sunset Sessions.  Yes it helps to have a sickeningly cute family but the golden glow that you get just before the sun goes down can turn your family photo into a beautiful piece of art. The light is warm which gives you those stunning images everyone wants.

It’s been a really long time since these guys had a family session.  Too long if you ask me! I tell clients they should do a family session at least once a year.  Everyone changes and grows (especially kids) so quickly that missing even one year can make a difference. Before you know it the kids are off to college and you don’t fit your skinny jeans anymore!  Oh the good old days.

I have a feeling these Sunset Sessions are going to a huge hit this summer.  Who doesn’t love the calm at the end of a day right before night.  Especially when it means the kids go to bed soon.  Not that any of us are watching the clock.
